Digital Sushi & tempura Zbrush

John — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:38:29 +0000

Making some props for the sushi bar scene. All done in Zbrush cep for some simple base meshes which were done in Maya. These should look pretty nice rendered with Vray using SSS.

Mehadeva Sky temple Sunrise

Heres a still render / composite of my ongoing compositing project which will be moving image. Mehadeva Sky temple, high above the clouds.
I used photographic reference for the texturing, which is doing all the hard work in the render, Maya and Zbrush were used in modelling and creating normal maps. Vray was used for the render and vue was used to generate the background.

3D mesh viewer on your ipad!

John — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:11:25 +0000

Found this great and currently free app called meshLab for IOS that lets you import your models and view them on the ipad in a interactive method that includes, rotation, zoom in , zoom out and 1 interactive directional light with self shadow. The apps lets you import and view a wide range of 3d formats like OBJ, STL, OFF, PLY.
This is a great find as I can import reference anatomy models and also show off my own sculpts! For a test I imported my Ninja crap sculpt in STL format which was roughly 500K tris and the app handled it fine. Really happy I found this app, definitely worth checking out if you want a fast and easy way to shop off your models.

Here are two composites currently in progress. Loving Nuke, for heavy comps it beats After Effects hands down for workflow, speed and responsiveness .
